I think it's a variation(or original form?) of
[face=SPIonic]a)gewme/trhtoj mhdei\j ei)si/tw.[/face]
allegedly by Euclid.(This form is on Lesson 39 of Chase and Phillips, which I just read yesterday )
Those who don't know geometry do not come in!Said to be inscribed on the gate of his school.

[face=SPIonic]i)/tw[/face] here the 3rd person singular imperative of [face=SPIonic]ei]mi[/face], to go.
(The greek sentence is directed to a single person. but plural form seemed natural for an English translation)

What OS are you using?

Check out this link. It will tell you the basics of "Betacode", an ASCII transliteration system for Greek. (Incidentally, the SPIonic uses a variant of it, which is why it was chosen as the font for this forum.)

In Betacode, your text would be "ou)dei/j a)gewme/trhtoj e)si/tw". Much more concise than what you posted, no?

I, Lex Llama, super genius, will one day rule this planet! And then you'll rue the day you messed with me, you damned dirty apes!

This is hard to know without more information. The spelling is. I don't think the grammar is correct and believe mingshey's post gives the correct pronoun form (mhdei\s for the imperative, not ou)dei\s).

Are you recreating the quote on your own? Are you quoting someone else?

I found "oudeis ageometretos eisito" in a site I don't remember; however the problem now is: oudeis or medeis???
You should check in sintax of greek tenses and moods I think, I can't because I have a 56K connection and downloading it would take hours.
You can vote for it in the poll I'm going to post
